/** 
 * \class SpatialObject
 * \brief Implementation of the composite pattern
 *
 * The purpose of this class is to implement the composite pattern [Design 
 * Patterns, Gamma, 1995] within itk, so that it becomes easy to create an 
 * environment containing objects within a scene, and to manipulate the 
 * environment as a whole or any of its component objects.  An
 * object has a list of transformations to transform index coordinates
 * to the corresponding coordinates in the real world coordinate
 * system, and a list of inverse transformation to go backward.  Any
 * spatial objects can be plugged to a spatial object as children.  To
 * implement your own spatial object, you need to derive from the
 * following class, which requires the definition of just a few pure
 * virtual functions.  Examples of such functions are ValueAt(),
 * IsEvaluableAt(), and IsInside(), each of which has a meaning
 * specific to each particular object type.
